$A$ light unstretchable string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{g}{8}$,then the ratio of the masses $\frac{m_2}{m_1}$ is:

  • A
    $9: 7$
  • B
    $4: 3$
  • C
    $5: 3$
  • D
    $8: 1$

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When set free,$m_1$ moves downwards by $3 \ m$ in $3 \ s$. The ratio of $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is $(g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$.

In the figure shown,both blocks are released from rest. Find the time taken for them to cross each other. (Assume $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
